Inspired by the tenacity of the human spirit, Jessica began her journey as a helper and healer early in life. As a licensed marriage family therapist with a background in clinical psychology, she studied the pathologies, diseases and disorders of the mind and discovered the limitations of the sole treatment of the psyche. Through witnessing the hardship that many of her loved ones (both human and animal) endured, she was exposed to energetic healing and alternative therapies that integrated a holistic approach to wellness.
In her quest for further understanding of these principles, she studied Reiki, circulatory massage, nutrition and most recently, yoga teacher training in Coonoor, India and began to use them in her own wellness regimen. Passionate about delivering this wisdom to others, she began a private practice to coach, support and educate others about holistic wellness. She uses a combination of movement, breath work, somatic insight, meditation and talk therapy for a complete and integrated approach to healing.
Jessica is especially dedicated to empowering youth to activate their potential and give them the skills and support to direct their energy in supportive and healthy ways. She has been a director and supervisor in local community mental health centers and is a writer and co-owner of Average Guy Inc., a project dedicated to coaching men to become exceptional. She has operated a thriving private practice in the South Bay for the past 8 years, has taught at local adult schools and wellness centers and facilitated workshops and women's retreats.
